27 January is the International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust.
Today we commemorate the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust. On 27 January, we remember the six million Jews and the millions of other victims of Nazism who were murdered because of their faith, nationality, beliefs, or identity.
This international day reminds us where hatred, exclusion, dehumanization, and the silence of the majority can lead. Today we pay tribute to the victims of the Holocaust, while also recognizing the responsibility we all share to identify and confront the dangers of intolerance, antisemitism, racism, and all forms of discrimination in contemporary society.
Intercultural and interfaith dialogue are key tools in preventing hatred and the repetition of the tragic chapters of history.
May today be an opportunity for quiet remembrance of the victims of the Holocaust and for reflection on our shared responsibility to uphold human dignity, human rights, and the values of peace.
